IS WHEAT A OOOD PURCHASE ? McOnroon, la., Deo. a, 1875.— T0 the KtUtor of The Chicugn Tribune: Having been a subscriber to your paper for quite a number of year*, I venture to tako Iho liberty Of interviewing you upon tho future of wheat, - ilnuy grain mm In (his section of the country men of good Judgment and shrewd foresight; men who pretend to know of what they speak,—confidently assure mo that them Is money in buying wheat; that, In view of tho very short crop ah over the world, there J* sure to tw a largo advance in tho price of this cereal at no very distant day, and that a purchase is sure to pay largo profit. Mill you please give m« your view* upon this sub ject. I* It, In your opinion, a safe venture to engage in, and does 11 promise profit? In tho oveut of an advance, arc you of tho opinion that such advance will como before the let of January 7 If sure of not losing, 1 would i>o glad to buy some wheat. 1 run of lurd to chance any profit there might be lu a purchase If I c-n only bo assured against lon*. Your reply will govern me very much In my action. 1 notice by your paper of yesterday that there Is In sight U|um tho other side of tho water .t 1.000,000 bu of wheat, uni upon this side 18,000,000, making, In all. hi sight to-day, 40,000,000 bu. 1 learn from auotlier source that Urn yearly requirements of Uroat Hrltaln, over and übuvu her homo product, aro, ordinarily, about 7V00,000, or, say, alnmt 6U.000.0b0 bu fur tho remaining nluo months of tho entreid year, assuming lu-r demand for this year to lie about tho same as that of other year*.

If this estimalo l>e a correct one, It shows that there Is yet hi first hands of tho crop of is?:, from fiU.uoo.OnU to W.OOO.OiW bu of Wheal m Mlomaots, lowa, Wisconsin, and Northern Illinois, which has yet got to seek England for a market. What, if any, tearing will this have upon England's supply ami markets, and will It, hi your opinion, have any affect hi kei plug the price down across tho water 7 1 suppose, with the amount of wheat there Is lu this country, it U Idle til look fur any advanco upon this rids of the water Im>- furo one is first established up«u the ©thsr aide.
